Justified favouritism in 2m3f mares' handicap most recently, taking Wetherby record to 3121; faces a stiffer assignment in this field, back against males, but holds solid claims kept to this venue.

She could do with settling better but perhaps the heavy ground was too much at Newcastle last month; won C&D maiden (good to soft) in December 2024 and runner-up to handicap blot in C&D handicap (soft) in November; could bounce back and play a leading role now back here.

Yard firmly back among the winners of late and she opened her account in some style in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Newcastle 15 days ago; always travelling strongly there so big shout despite the drop back in trip and 6lb weights rise.

Narrow winner of a 2m4f mares' novice hurdle at Ayr (soft) in January; lacked for fluency when down the field on C&D chasing debut (good; 13-2) 24 days ago; Derek Fox takes over in the saddle, with stablemate I Wish You probably of more interest.

Has not shown a great deal in three maiden hurdles this year (2m2f-2m4f) but has lowly mark for this handicap debut and the longer trip and/or first-time tongue-tie may enable improvement; worth a glance in the betting.

Promising third in Irish point 20 months ago and that form has substance; sold for £48,000 and had wind surgery since; has a long absence to overcome but market support should be heeded.
